David Bowie was an all time favourite of mine. I admired tremendously his talent, his ambition, and his ability to turn the light on to some of the darkest sides of human existence. Just like so very many others, I am somehow in grief for his loss. After his passing in January, I have been going through many of his stories, and listened to many of his songs. I didn’t until today though recall this wonderful version of Nature Boy, the son by Eden Ahbez from 1947 (which Nat King Cole so gracefully used to sing), equally joyous and dramatic, that he recorded for the film Moulin Rouge in 2001. There are also great versions of this song by Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, and The Real Group.

I have only just recently discovered the stupendous Trend Hunter Magazine :-), which contains a full section dedicated to Tangible Interaction installations (so good). And there it goes, Nature couldn’t be missing as a reference in some of the exhibited designs. I have chosen this gorgeous jelly swarm, which is so dreamy…

Lately I have spent many hours delving deep into a new passion: surface pattern design. I draw, of course, my inspiration from Nature. Nature is just such a vast concept, it includes, in a way almost everything!
